Good morning everyone.

Thursday again with a windy, showery day in store for some of us. I've got wind-proof lighters for days like these. :o Haven't found anyone to give them to yet. Aren't you glad you don't have to go and struggle to light up in this weather? :)

Whatever you're doing have a good day. :)

Good morning Andi, and Sue,

Blue, grey sky here in Yorkshire. But it is very calm at the moment.

Not doing much today just go to the shops and come home and wait for a call from the hospital for this heart scan.

Anyone else doing anything exciting?

whatever your doing ENJOY! xx :)

Morning all - 16 days today!!!!! CO reading was 2 last night but that

was after a 20 minute walk in heavy traffic so I'm not too upset. Have reduced the

patches to 15mg and at the moment I don't feel any differance, but will let you know

as the day goes on. Hope you all have a good day. I'm off tomorrow so today

is my Friday....loverly! Think I'll have a crunchie to celebrate...lol!

Hiya, now back from pt session. Looks like a bit of a shopping day all round then. :)

Dawn that's a really good reading, especially when you live with a smoker. Hope you enjoy your long weekend - and don't have too much of that falling-down water - you know it ges you into trouble! :o :D

I've tried to post a picture on the blog yesterday and today and it seems there's a bug in the system so hopefully they'll fix it by tomorrow.

See you later. :)

Hiya Andi, you must be keen doing your pt session already, i'm tired just thinking about it :D :D, i can't post a picture either; hubby's on the computer cause it's working now, so annoying, the sooner he's back at work the better :D :D

dawlol18 Months Winner in reply toandi22

LOL! Yes Andi, I know the falling down water gets me into trouble,

and leads me into temptation but I won't give into it this time. Christmas

shopping tomorrow - why have I got 7 Grandchildren at my tender age???

Saturday wer'e painting the hall and Sunday is family Sunday Roast day

so a very busy weekend to look forward to.

Have'nt noticed any difference in the 15mg patches and I've been up since 6.30

so all good there. Speak later.

Hi john, glad your ok. and your lovely Amor and Vida. Did you manage your 3 d. shapes the other day or have I missed them. Take care. :) xx

Hey Everyone :D

Andi, I had big trouble trying to put a photie in yesterday on my 'vivid dreams' blog. Shall try it again in a minute. What did you do this morning then, exercise wise? I'm hoping to go out after work tonight but not sure whether to do another W1 run or do you think I should crack on with W2? Oooh decisions, derisions.... :-/

Hi Sue, every time I look at your little photie, I keep on waiting for those sunflowers to start dancing in their pots. Do you remember them from the 80's?! :-) Try and take comfort from any happy times with your lovely dad that you had. Time is the greatest healer with regards to grieving.

img.tjskl.org.cn/pic/z1e4e7...

Hey John, how old are both Amor and Vida? Have you had them since babies? It sounds as though they are doing you the world of good in terms of your grieving and also with keeping you occupied. Good to hear that you have noticed that you are not having the urge for your mouth sprays as much as usual. In time you won't need them at all :-)

Hi Dawn, great news about your CO reading :-) With regards to your 15mg patch, just remember to stay positive and stay confident in knowing that you can do this. You have moved onto the next level of quitting now and have a fun filled jam packed weekend to help you stay occupied :-)

Yo Jillygirl, I really love your Ark picture, funny :D I'm sure that your heart scan will show what we already know, that you have a massive great heart :-)

Have a lovely Thursday everybody, today is a fantastic day to practise being smokefree ready for the weekend :D

andi22 in reply toEmJay

Hiya, I should just carry on with week 2 if you're comfortable with it. Hope you do your stretching afterwards though. :)

Hi Dawn and all, just come on now for an hour before I sort out the tea. I,ve been to the beach today and got blown away, the weather is awful here in Liverpool but feeding the birds there and watching the choppy sea was lovely. What a nasty day, its lashed down all day and the poor birds can hardly fly its so bad, I felt really sorry for Antony Gormleys men standing stark naked in the freezing sea, they must have frozen bits today. Lets hope tommorow,s a better day and they can thaw out, lol

Yo Dawn!

My apologies, have just got in, finished work at about 2.30pm and popped to see if I could get my daughter a new mouse for her laptop as a stocking filler. the Christmas ones will be arriving next week, so I'll pop back to the shop then.

A big well done on your CO2 level and on day 16!

Well, I am not having any tea tonight, I had fish and chips at lunch time with a friend and am still proper full! I haven't had fish and chips for yonks, they were the best I've had in years!

Am going to collect my daughter from school shortly, she can make her own tea tonight, it won't harm her :)

You really do take care of your lovebirds John, they are such delicate little birds and they obviously give you great joy!

I.m sure that your heart scan will be tickerty boo Jilly! You are one top lady! Good luck with the 'stair' exercise!

Andi- weather like this makes me glad to be a non-smoker!

Am going to have a relaxing evening tonight, i may even have a snoozette watching telly.

Emjay- you have a fab Thursday too and everybody else!

Laters all

Hello again, Well my specialist nurse has just called me. Everything changed again. Monday got to go in for heart scan. go back home and then go back in evening time.

Tuesday have my exploratory op. So its a little bit nearer. bit less time to wait. So prob wont be on site next week , but will try and get a message to you all. Suppose I am like a football club with all my supporters.

in reply tojillygirl

Good luck Jilly for next week, I hope all goes well for you. I think the waiting is the worse part as all horrible thoughts go through your head, the sooner its sorted the better then you can deal with the outcome and move on.

Take care and goooooood luck

Yoo hoo Sue,

I missed you out of my message, must be cos you were being so quiet, or I had a 'CRAFT' moment, (Can't remember a flipping thing). My apologies!

Hope that you got your shopping done afore the heavens opened!

It's been a long time ago since my parents passed away, I have a photo of them in my study, I look at it everyday and smile. As Emjay says, time is a great healer. Memories are wonderful things and although your dad isn't here in person, he is with you in memories, in your heart and in spirit.

I heard a daft joke today....

Someone I know employed an Eastern European as a cleaner for his house. It took her 8 hours to vacuum a 2 bedroom house! He said she was a Slovak....proper made me giggle when I heard that today.

Afternoon all, keep trying to get on here then phone rings or something. :o Still windy here but we haven't had any rain yet - I think that's coming in this evening. Typical as I've got to go out tonight. It's my god-daughter's 21st so off round there for tea so that will save me cooking. It's a family do so I shouldn't think I'll be late. :)

Went to doc's this aft and she gave me a piece of paper with 'Physio Direct', a phone advice service. If you're lucky they may book you an appointment to see someone. :o Of course they finish work at 3.30 so I can't phone them til tomorrow now. :P She also gave me a private name and said it costs £20 but you look them up and it's £40! (I think they're all on commission these days.)

Thank you Dawn. I am ok, just had a busy couple of days but thanks for wondering where I am. I'm feeling better with the cravings today, got really bad last week but I didn't give in to them.

I know you wont be able to read this until Monday when you get back to work, but I hope you are ok and have a great weekend and you stay strong and resist the temptation of those cravings if they come calling.

I've had today (Friday) off work as well and I'm off on Monday, it's bliss :) Been doing some Christmas shopping today.

Speak to you next week. xxx

Hi Andi, this is terrible why would your doctor not send you to an nhs physio, it's your right to see one Grrrrrr go camp at your surgery till you get one

hope you have a great time at your god daughters :) i'm off to have my tea then my shower, will be back after that :) xx

andi22 profile image
andi22 in reply tosue52

Sorry, this physio direct is the nhs service. First you have to speak to someone on the phone then they decide if you need an appointment. :o

I'm off now so see you later maybe. :)

sue523 YEAR WINNER in reply toandi22

I see what you mean now Andi, one of these days i'll be able to read :D :D

still, you shouldn't have to phone up, your GP should do it, mine would, and she would decide if i needed the appointment, not them, well as long as your ankle gets fixed, that's the main thing :) xx
